How to resolve AdBlock issue? This achievement was recently celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by school families and staff, followed by healthy bites from fellow Blue Zones Project-approved restaurant, Stein and Wein, and an opportunity to work in the school garden.
Shade Canyon School’s dedication to well-being aligns seamlessly with Blue Zones Project Principles.
Its Waldorf education philosophy emphasizes holistic development, and the school actively promotes health and well-being, organizes community events that bring families
together to connect, and encourages volunteerism through its parent council.
These efforts were instrumental in achieving Blue Zones Project approval.
“The journey to a healthier community begins with small, meaningful steps,” said Vice Principal Maggie Leib, who led the approval efforts. “Together with the Blue Zones Project, we are creating a school where everyone thrives.”
As part of their ongoing well-being work, Shade Canyon School received a small grant from Blue Zones Project to enhance its school garden, providing students with hands-on learning about where their food comes from and reinforcing healthy eating habits.
“We are thrilled to welcome Shade Canyon School into the Blue Zones Project - Lake County Family,” said April Strait, engagement and marketing lead for Blue Zones Project - Lake County. “Their dedication to fostering a thriving environment is an inspiring example of what it means to create a healthier, happier community.”
Blue Zones Project is a community well-being initiative focused on making sustainable, evidence-based changes that promote healthier lifestyles. By partnering with organizations like Shade Canyon School, Blue Zones Project is working to make Lake County a place where residents live longer, healthier lives.
